Vintage circular sock machines can be found on e-bay but be sure you are educated so you don’t get ripped off. Join a couple of the yahoo discussion groups and gather some facts first.

New Erlbacher-Gearhart machines are currently being manufactured in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Information is available on their website which a Google search will reveal.

There is/was also a manufacturer in New Zealand who was making New Zealand Auto Knitters; however, she is no longer actively manufacturing them but may have a few machines left. Again, Google NAZK and it should come up.

we do produce circular sock knitting machines in Russia, although it is now available without ribber, it is very strong high quality tiny grade cast iron. Conventional disk ribber doesn’t work for our yarns, because they are too thick and too rough, thus we are now developing cone ribber.
Price is fair, but shipping from Russia is extremely expensive, Russian post charges a lot, and for now I do not have solution for that…
